heat. At the first furn there was collision
between the sulky wheels of Clifton Bell
and Rosie Nc. There was a whirring
sound, spokes were seen to fly in the air
and the driver of Clifton Bell slowed up
When he saw that his wheel would stand
he again started for the heat, closed up
quite gap and came in a good third
Tempest was an easy winner in 2:26.
The next two heats were won handily by
Tempest, who showed herself to be a
splendid racing mare, in 2:25l and 2:23!. In

lent showing.

THE EVENT OF THE FAIR.
The next race called was the free-for-al
pace, mile heats, three in five, the entries
being the famous PAGERS L. G. Lee. Kill
larney and Arrow. From the well-known
speed OF these animals fast time was ex-
pected and in this respect the audience was
not disappointed. There was lively time
around the pool box. and pools were rap
idly sold up to the moment the horses
started, at the following odds; Lee $40,
Arrow 500, Killarney $40. The talent
were SO confident that Lee was sure win
ner. that they were taking every bet they
could get at these figures, and
many private bets were made-Lee
500 to $50 for the other two The horses
were very evenly started for the first heat.
At the quarter Arrow led by three lengths
in :322, Lee two lengths behind, and Kill
larney some five lengths farther to the
| rear. The positions were not changed at
the half, which was reached in Los. with
Arrow going steady as a clock. Between
the hall and three-quarter poles Lee closed
up little OF the gap, but could not over
| take the Los Angeles Arrow, that shot I'M
der the wire an easy winner BY three open
| lengths in 2:l5!, the fastest time ever made
over the track by either trotter or PAGER.
Arrow is California horse, only years
| old, and his defeat of the Eastern celebrity
| caused a shout to go up from the multitude
as had not before been heard during the
meeting. Arrow finished with such ease
and returned to the score in such fine con-
| dition, that he at once became large ia
vorite in the pools, and there was a
scramble for the pool-box by the Lee back
ers, who attempted to hedge" Pools now
sold: Arrow $500 field sos.
The horses had a good send-off for the
| second heat. Arrow again showed his
heels to his competitors and passed the
quarter In :33, Lee two lengths behind,
Killarney two or three lengths to the rear.
The half was passed with the horses in
about the same position in 1:071. They
came into the homestretch in this order,
Lee gaining somewhat on Arrow, but he
broke at the seven-eigbths pole and fell
ha tn I'd r,1.p 81 i
winning by several lengths from Killarney
in 2:19t
Arrow was such large favOrite now that
hedging was impossible, and Lee and Kill
larney found no hackers at any price The
Los Angeles wonder had it all his own
way.
Considerable difficulty was experienced
in getting the horses started for the next
heat, Killarney refusing to come to the
scratch, turning back at the draw-gate, de-
spite the efforts of his driver to urge him
forward. The horses finally had good
start, but Arrow broke on the first turn
and lost so much thereby that his chances
of winning the heat were lost. Killarney
led to the halt by two lengths in 1:07l, Lee
two lengths behind, and Arrow almost out
of sight to the rear. At the seven-eighths
pole Killarney broke, and Lee went to the
| front winning from Killarney in 2:24 Ar
| row just driving to save his distance. After
this heat pools sold: Arrow, 500; field,
$25.
The last heat was the most exciting of
the day, and recorded one of the fastest
| fourth heats ever paced. The horses had q
good send off, Arrow taking the lead and
passing the quarter in 1871, the other horses
| close up. Before reaching the half, which
Arrow passed in 1:07f, Lee made bad
| break and fell considerable distance to the
| rear. Arrow never made skip. and his
driver sent him home for all he was worth,
| passing under the wire in the remarkably
| fast time of 2;164, several lengths in ad-
vance of Killarney, and the distance flag
| fell in the face of Lee. This gave Arrow
first and third money and Killarney sec
ond money.
